The ability to get youngsters to eat things that they generally will not eat is only possible with the use of L-O-V-E in cooking for them. the taste of food is enhanced with this common but not overly used ingredient.

I wish I could cure the ails of this new generation of mothers but I can not.
But Love, love, love for cooking for our families does make a better tasting dish. That might help to start with. Also, "Selflessness" in the kitchen.
